The clouds are on fire And we’re birds in the sky Alive in the eye of the storm We’re shot if we falter This side or the other Let flowers fall and grow me thorns These great walls have caved in Colossus awakened As eyes open wide in the dust A flame and a fervor The hidden observers Must rise and cross this wild perimeter You’re the same as me Caught in between the lines that divide Right in between Right in between We are the new soldiers We are the new victims These souls have abandoned their names Absorbing the venom Backs turned to heaven Facing the starving flames Now you’re before me In all your glory Gather me up and carry me on as we tear right through this wild perimeter You’re the same as me Caught in between the lines that divide Right in between Right in between Carry me further

Land of Sleep A mad man dreams of turning machines in pain He pretends to sleep while a shadow calls his name The stolen sun soon will soon become Another torn and broken memory Turn back the clocks To reveal what we've lost In this city's smoky veil Or face the violent truth of this machine He cannot fight, the endless night's to blame And faces change till all become the same The sleepwalkers rule the streets The same day on repeat, so Turn back the clocks To reveal what we've lost In this city's smoky veil. To fight the silent rule of this machine Postcards of trees reflecting the seas A place beyond the grey Is calling his name To throw ourselves into the flames To kill the fuel To break the cogs that turn the machine

Mine 50 diaries pages up and the wind reads every line 50 stories offered up and letting go we breath in time Im reaching I’m breathing 50 diaries pages up and the wind reads every line we grow greater than our bodies as we become the life inside soaring watch the wings unfurl they will bear us home _

Dust me off and wake me up Throw the covers off, I didn't see it coming And I don't need a hand to hold I've never been the type to come in from the cold She's the flint and I'm the flame A special kind of fire that burns in no one's name I'm casting eyes to the stars and I am Leaving everything I've built and broken behind I am stainless forged and set A monolith that stands through everything you've said And safe inside all this armour I am free To point my nose at the sun Forget the countdown now just fire away Tell me again, tell your plan Without a path or direction And maybe I stand on pillars of sand But I am fire and I am Turning them to glass When I shoot When I scream When I fly When again I'm going blind I'll believe when I see When I cross over the divide More speed What I need Let the sparks fly I have no choice but to go Let the sparks fly Beyond the now and the known Let the sparks fly Board up the windows and weld the doors Let the sparks fly I'll leave it all behind
